Barclay James Harvest - Mæstoso (A Hymn In The Roof Of The World) lyrics

It's so strange that I should meet you

Here upon the highest point of earth;

It's safe to say we've proved our worth

In others' eyes today;

And the flags that we both hold

Are altogether vain and meaningless.

These standards that we've strived to bless,

It's time we threw away.

We should fall upon our knees

And thank sweet God we are alive.

Sweet God we are alive. Sweet God we are alive!

All across the face of earth

The clouds are gathering to hide the ways of man.

There is no earthly plan

Up here at Heaven's door,

And the air is pure enough

To wipe away all doubts of innocence.

Repent! Rejoice! Make recompense

For now and evermore.

We should fall upon our knees

And thank sweet God we are alive.

Sweet God we are alive.

Sweet God we are alive!
